Confessions of an English Opium Eater ebook download Thomas De Quincey

Confessions of an English Opium Eater

His thirty perilous years of drug addiction both eased his considerable social anxieties and created new, devastating mental and physical torments. Throughout this time he fought a constant and bitter struggle against the incapacity and torpor that opium-then as readily available as aspirin-incurred. De Quincey's powerful evocation of this drug-induced experience gives a fearful insight into the degeneration of a brilliant mind.
